Breaking the news via Twitter, the Taylor Gang leader revealed that his latest offering will arrive on March. He started releasing mixtapes around 2005, racking up an increasingly high-profile set of features before breaking through with 2011’s Rolling Papers. Wiz Khalifa has announced the release date for his upcoming mixtape Taylor Allderdice.

Some rappers want to take over the world Wiz Khalifa just wants to meet girls, get money, and smoke as much weed as his constitution will allow.
